Hello from upstate NY
New guy checking in here from Binghamton.. I'm looking to buy my first Harley after about 20 years of riding sportbikes..The Nightrod Special has really caught my eye, I sat on a couple today at Ithaca HD (great people) being I'm 6'8" tall this bike fit about the best of everything they had me sit on..I'm thinking spring time will be when the actual purchase gets made as I really want to pay off my ZX12R Ninja first, I only need one bike payment at a time!!
Anything that a first time buyer needs to know or watch out for about V rods ?? I'm just starting my research now.. I've heard that MSRP is the norm on new bikes, true or false ??
Mike..

MSRP is what my dealer in NY sells at for all new bikes, and if its a Night rod special, im suprised they didnt throw some extra stuff on it to mark it up a little bit, are there more than one NRS at Ithaca HD?

If the trade is any cheaper i'd say go with that, I've seen people on demo rides do some pretty stupid things, especially vrods, trying to put their feet on the passenger peg to ride it like some bonniville flats speed record bike or something, but the trade more than likley has been taken care of better than the demo, are they the same color? which do you like better?

Welcome to the forums, A couple of my buds got their rides from Ithaca HD. They seem to be a respectable Dealership. I live in Elmira, I bought mine and Harding which is now American Twin, I can't say I care about them to much. Good luch with your purchase.

I was pretty pleased with my stop at Ithaca HD, they took the time to talk to me and explain all the models which is more than I got from Southern Tier HD here in Binghamton......

I agree with your sportbike comment !! I started out yesterday with the intention of seeing what if anything the dealer would give me for the big black Ninja, never made it....Was having to much fun in the twisties and cancelled that plan..
I want a V-Rod and keep the Ninja now...
